Firefox Crashing

20090611 0833 GMT-5

My friend just sent me a email saying he has a problem with this computer.

Has been dual booting XP and Ubuntu 8.04 for over a year without any
problems. Last night he turned off his system and this morning when he
turned it back on he has crazy troubles under ubuntu.

His browsers keep crashing - as in, open it up, go to any page, the page
might load, it might not, and the app closes.

Pidgin is doing the same. He will open a window to me, post a message -
and immediately go offline. Then a few message attempt later, he wont go
off line, I can see the message but he cant see any posted response back.

He emailed me this from Firefox:

corruption (fasttop): 0xb18e9098 ***
